BIM workflow: optimizing and controlling your renovation projects
While new non-residential building starts continue to fall (-8.8% over Q1 2024*), strong environmental and societal constraints are enabling the improvement and maintenance business to maintain its growth. A new opportunity for BIM (Building Information Modeling) technologies to make a difference in this sector... Find out how Trimble workflow can help you optimize your renovation projects!

How does BIM meet the challenges of renovation?
As with construction, the technologies associated with BIM make precise 3D modeling accessible and facilitate information sharing via an integrated workflow. It is these models that enable buildings to be adapted to new uses and needs, by testing different spatial configurations on the basis of the existing.
The accuracy of data captured on site enables the creation of realistic BIM models, simplifying planning and design while taking spatial constraints into account.
At the end of the project, the complete BIM model makes it possible toanticipate future renovations. It provides reliable data for rapid activation of future projects, reducing the time needed to explore and survey the existing structure.
Trimble Workflow: an ally for your renovation projects
Trimble solutions are distinguished by their ability to centralize and communicate all project data in real time. Trimble Connect provides a single interface for all model data, simplifying the transfer of information between teams at every stage of the project. The system enables rapid editing of the 3D and 2D documentation required for construction.
A module dedicated to energy renovation
The new challenges posed by the tertiary sector decree makeenergy optimization a key aspect of any renovation project. That's why, in addition to the standard modeling and visualization tools, SketchUp includes Sefaira, a module dedicated to building energy performance modeling. With just a few clicks, you can analyze thermal comfort, light levels and HVAC system efficiency, based on your modeling choices.
